Sheriff’s Dept. releases 911 calls from Sikh Temple shooting

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office released the 911 calls from the Sikh Temple shooting that took place on the morning of Sunday, August 5th. The shooting left six dead and three critically wounded.

The man at the center of the shooting is 40-year-old Wade Michael Page. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in the moments after he shot up the temple — following a gunshot wound to the stomach fired by an Oak Creek police officer.

The 911 calls give listeners a sense of the terror that took place on that Sunday morning at the temple. We warn that some of it is difficult to listen to.

One man calls and reports the address of the temple. As he says, “There’s a shooting,” the sound of gunfire can be heard in the background. Another woman calls to report hearing gunfire and seeing someone shot. The call gets disconnected, and the dispatcher calls back twice with no luck. At one point, with phones ringing nonstop, a dispatcher says, “Oh my god.”

The six victims of temple shooting are identified as — Sita Singh, 41; Ranjit Singh, 49; temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65; Prakash Singh, 39, and Suveg Singh, 84 — and 41-year-old Paramjit Kaur.

As of Wednesday, August 15th, three people remain hospitalized at Froedtert Hospital as a result of the shootings. Oak Creek Police Lt. Brian Murphy and Santokh Singh are in satisfactory condition. Punjab Singh is in critical condition.

Expect the Obama campaign to claim the killer was a Ryan operative.

Satan is ever present to inflict evil upon this world through his agents.

Prayers for the three that are still in the hospital. Prayers for the family members of the dead.

God bless our country, our citizens and indeed the entire world and bring peace to all mankind

I pray for the day when Satan is finally destroyed

My wife and I know some Seiks and they are the good guys.

May not be Christian, but they are good people. I would want them at my side, when the Muslims come.
